I love thee, O thou great, wild, rugged land Of fenceless field and snowy mountain height, Uprearing crests all starry-diademed Above the silver clouds! A sea of light Swims o'er thy prairies, shimmering to the sight A rolling world of glossy yellow wheat That runs before the wind in billows bright As waves beneath the beat of unseen feet, And ripples far as eye can see--as far and fleet!

I've read a good amount of material on the early explorers who opened and helped settle the middle of the country. But this book allowed me to see more clearly and in more detail the daily challenges faced by the first trappers and traders. I grew up close to Bent's Fort and am well acquainted with Santa Fe, NM. The men and women characters in this book bring history alive thanks to the author's ability to paint with words.
